Explore Berlin's cultural heritage

Discover what life was like behind the Wall while Germany was still under communist rule at the DDR Museum Berlin. Interactive exhibits bring this fascinating period of recent history to life. One of Berlin's top attractions, the museum's 250,000 exhibit collection preserves the enthralling cultural heritage of the German Democratic Republic (GDR).

Germany's capital city has one of the richest histories in Europe. In Berlin, you'll discover cultural heritage spanning Germany's glittering Prussian empire, its globally influential Bauhaus movement and fascinating memorials from the time of the Nazi regime. Your Berlin CityTourCard gives you discounted entry to the city's most significant museum about the Stasi era, the DDR Museum Berlin.

Travel back to communist Germany at the DDR Museum Berlin

The DDR Museum Berlin is one of the world's most interactive museums. Be transported back in time and immerse yourself in everyday life during the GDR era. History comes to life through interactive games and simulators that put you in the driving seat on your historical tour. Walls and barbed wire sequestered the GDR from the outside world, but now you can experience this enthralling epoch first hand. Museum highlights include the monumental wall painting "In Praise of Communism", and an authentically furnished five bedroom apartment, just as it would have been during the GDR era. The museum is the largest in Berlin. Presented on an area exceeding 1000m², it is divided into three areas; Public Life, State and Ideology and Life in Prefabricated Buildings. As you move through more than 35 themed galleries, life under socialism unfolds through exciting documentary material, authentic replicas and original artefacts. Don't miss the Departure to Utopia exhibition which showcases futuristic objects from the GDR era, offering you an insight into a fantastic vision of the future past. Meanwhile, the museum's Visitor Centre regularly organises themed events exploring aspects of the GDR era. Readings, panel discussions and concerts are among the special events you'll encounter at this vibrant cultural hub.
